All serious competitors know that weight brings a lot of advantages.
Less felt recoil: More mass means the fi***rm moves less for the same recoil impulse.
Less muzzle rise: Weight low in the grip helps resist the upward rotation of the muzzle.
Faster follow-up shots: If the sights or red dot move less, they tend to return to the target more predictably.
More stable during rapid strings: A heavier platform can feel less "snappy" and more settled in the hands.
Better balance: Adding weight to the grip can counterbalance a heavier slide, optic, compensator, or barrel.
More consistency: A fi***rm that tracks in a repeatable way can make timing easier in IPSC-style shooting.
